Upon awakening on our fourth day in Australia, we quickly ate breakfast and then piled into the car. We were to cover 5 and a half hours – including meals and inevitable bathroom and coffee breaks, so into the rented car we went! Personally, I adore road trips and find them relaxing, it gives me an opportunity to tune out the world and listen to music, truly listen. It’s a shame that Singapore isn’t large enough to drive for that kind of distance. Singapore is ridden with traffic lights and traffic jams at every turn. While I love the urban setting, I’m always open to a road trip or two!

My name is Elvira Lindell
I'm a Finnish expat living in Singapore. I've lived in Hong Kong(1997-2001), Finland(2001-2006), as well as China(2006-2010)and I've basically been living abroad my entire life. I don't mind the traveling, in fact, I quite like having new experiences and I will probably continue moving around the world when I've branched out on my own.
